Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys. This is Girls Talk,

Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and broadcasting live from Dallas Cowboys World

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Headquarters at the Star. Cowboys got a problem. The Cowboys

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: have got a problem with the run defense and ladies.

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: It's a problem that we've known about for weeks. We've

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: talked about it. We've even talked about the slate of

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: runners that they're pa that they're gonna have to start

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: dealing with. You've got Dalvin Cook this weekend for Minnesota.

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: He's averaging five yards to carry roughly eight yards a game.

12
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: After that, you got Saquon Barkley and the Giants here

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving. Then he got Jonathan Taylor in the Indianapolis Colts,

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: and then hey Christmas, you got Jalen Hurtzigan the Eagles.

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was asked about it today and he seemed

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: to think I isshed that their problem is the C

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: gap and for some of our listeners that aren't familiar

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: with that, that is the area outside the offensive tackles.

19
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: That's where they're sort of getting exposed and sealing the edge.

20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: And because I have access to a lot of former

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: players and coaches, I was just as curious, I think

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: as a lot of cowboy fans, well, if you know

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: what the problem is, why aren't you doing it? And

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: in talking to a number of people, it sounds like

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: they don't feel like when they're looking at the tape

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: there's enough bulk up front. And Brian Baldinger, who does

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: a lot of great breakdowns ladies, particularly if you want

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: to get smarter with football, Brian will do that for you.

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: It's called Baldies breakdowns. But he sent me a clip

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: it was right before the half. It was the Aaron

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Jones twelve yard touchdown run. What's concerning is you've got

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Mica Parsons one on one with the center, so he's

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: right there in the middle of the field. He sheds

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: the block fairly quickly, but at that point Aaron Jones

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: is already coming up the edge, and I usha we

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: talked about the show started. It looked like Dante Fowler

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: missed his assignment. In other words, he was supposed to

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: twist back in to the open gap. He didn't, and

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: then Aaron Jones was able to get the touchdown for

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the half, which really proved costly. What are you seeing?

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: What stands out because it sounds like the locker rooms

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: pretty frustrated. We saw Micah Parsons. He wasn't name checking teammates,

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: but he certainly was calling out if you're going to

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: continue to do what you're going to do, then we're

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna be dealing with this all year. What have you

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: seen consistently on the tape that that is this gentleman

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: not being where they're supposed to be in those plays,

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: Like even Baldy just posted earlier today, like there was

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: a play in the game where there were a multiple

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: gentlemen filling that one gap and I was like, what

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? So I personally see on tape is

52
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that I think some of the alignment with the DNS

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: is off as well, Like they're lining up more inside,

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: well more inside than I think they should be, and

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: it's allowing the tight ends to get their hands on

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: them and they're not able to get off of it.

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: But more than anything we talked about it yesterday, it's

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: just playing your assignment. And it sounds so simple, but

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: when you have so many guys who can get after

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback have the ability to rush the passer. I

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: think that right now, these gentlemen are chasing the play

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: and not making their play. And this is something that

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: we have talked about on this show and with this

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: defense the way that it flows a lot of the

65
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: time when the defensive line is getting up field or

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: they're pushing or flowing the runner or whoever to another

67
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: gentleman and it's up to that guy to make the play.

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: And if that guy doesn't make the play, then it's

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: up to that guy. So it's a trickle down effect.

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: People are also running at your edges because they don't

71
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: think your corners are going to come up and tackle.

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: It's a number of things, but more than importantly, I

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's just these guys playing their assignment, knowing their assignment.

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Like maybe there's some conversations that need to be had

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: of like do you know what you're supposed to be

76
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: doing right here, because it looks like you're trying to

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: do with this gentleman the other guys doing so I'm

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: more than anything, it's just them cleaning up planned their

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: assignment and being disciplined and trusting their eyes right now.

80
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just want to add some context to that.

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore spoke to Patrick Walker this morning in the

82
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: locker room, and it's crazy how you literally just said

83
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to make the play. He said, quote, We've

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: got a lot of great athletes and ballplayers, and everyone

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: is trying to make the play. We've got so many

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: dogs on the team, and if everybody just focuses on

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: what they have to do in an individual assignments, will

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: be good and we'll get there for sure. And so

89
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: I think it just number one speaks to how in

90
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: tune you are with this team and what's going on.

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: But also I just think it makes it challenging. I

92
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: think when you're so good at rushing the quarterback, and

93
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: that I've talked about that before on this show, just

94
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: to a lot of people, when you can get to

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback, that signifies a good defense, right Oh, Like

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: they're taking down Aaron Rodgers, they're taking down Tom Brady.

97
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: That's a good defense. But I think what you're learning

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: at this point of the season is that you need

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot more than just sacks or rushing the quarterback

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: in order to win. Mike McCarthy has told us every

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: single time He speaks in that press conference that if

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: I was other teams preparing against US, I would run

103
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: the ball because I don't want to face our pass rush.

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: And I think we're getting to the point where number one,

105
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: I wish you would stop saying that, but also number two,

106
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: now you have to start being able to back that up.

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Right now you have to start saying, yeah, our pass

108
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: rush is deadly. But now we're getting into the point

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: where teams are recognizing that our run defense is a

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: little bit lacking, so we have to go in and

111
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: adjust that. I think that's really the focus this week.

112
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: I think that's maybe along with limiting the reps they're

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: getting before that Thursday game next week. I think part

114
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: of the reason they're doing a walk through today is

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: just to kind of get a little bit more in

116
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: tune with what that really means. And I'm glad you

117
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: ended on that note, because I was about to say,

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: it's about going back to the basics. It's making it

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: way too complicated within their own minds. They are overthinking,

120
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: they're too busy trying to go for the play, make

121
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the play instead of just sticking to your assignment, go

122
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: get your guy, and that's it. Because we've that this

123
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: dan Quinn defensive scheme works for these guys. It works

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: for these players, it works within the depth in this

125
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: locker room. It's just at this point the only thing

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: getting in the Cowboys defense is themselves, and really it's

127
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: been an issue. But what I think going into this

128
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: game is going to show is the Vikings are wanting

129
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: to expose the Cowboys defense even more than they feel

130
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: like they did in Green Bay. So hearing on the

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: other side, what you know, the vibe was with the Vikings,

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: it was very well, just run the ball. Cowboys defense

133
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: can't handle that. Run the ball, very plain and simple.

134
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: They are trying to expose that this is the actual weakness,

135
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: This is the kryptonite for the Cowboys defense. So again,

136
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: a lot of it looks like they're just playing too

137
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: emotionally charged and not you know, more logically charged. So

138
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: I think it's just going back to the basics, saying, hey,

139
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: let's do some self scouting, what worked, what didn't stick

140
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: to your guy, and that's about it. They just have

141
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: to do it. They have to quit talking about it

142
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: and do it. At this point, I love that While

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: I was just going to say I love that you

144
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: bring out. Okay, they want to run the ball. You've

145
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: got Dalvin Cook, right, we talked about Dalvin Cook five

146
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: yards were carry averaging eight yards game. He can be deadly.

147
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: You know who proved he's really deadly, Justin Jefferson. Oh so,

148
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: and so the problem is if they decide if they

149
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: if this run defense suddenly decides to turn the corner

150
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: and let's say they drop a safety and they load

151
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: the box, right, you're leaving Justin Jefferson exposed, and he's

152
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: going to give up the big play. So I think

153
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys this week, you've got to minimize the big place.

154
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: And I sorry said that. It was like and I'm

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: not Dan. I'm not going to sit here and say

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I know better than Dan Quinn. In fact, I'm actually

157
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: just really curious about what the game plan is because

158
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: it's not just it's not just Jefferson. You've got Adam Feelin.

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: You've got t. J. Hawkinson, who just saw with the

160
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Lions a couple of weeks ago, who they picked up.

161
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a tough team. I

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: think that the only way that they're going to be

163
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: able to have success, particularly on the road. And look,

164
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: they won that game a Minnesota that they weren't supposed

165
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: to last year. Right, you gotta force Kirk Cousins to

166
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: make mistakes, and the way you do that is the

167
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: pass rush. Okay, So I think that they are going

168
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: to get exposed again in the run because I think

169
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: the bigger threat for them this week is giving up

170
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: those big explosive plays, letting them get out ahead scoring

171
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: on an opening drive, which they are very capable of doing.

172
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: And so again what I'm looking for, you know, as

173
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: covering this team is what's dan Quinn gonna do? Like

174
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: where is your attention to do? Because everyone's calling out

175
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: your RUNDI but I don't think you can put more

176
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: attention on the run this week given some of the

177
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: threats in your receiving game. Am I wrong on that?

178
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: I think that I will. Like we were talking about,

179
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: is I think what's frustrating. What was frustrating from me

180
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: on phone is like it is fixable because if the

181
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: guys play their assignments, they'll be at the right place.

182
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: So that's like that's the more or a frustrating thing

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: about it. Also, too, this Vikings offense hasn't changed a

184
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: whole bunch since last year and the Cowboys played them

185
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: considerably stout last year, and the Vikings also were keeping

186
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: an eye on their their right tackle. If I'm not mistaken,

187
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: he is Christian Darsaw. He's in concussion protocol. He's a

188
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: big part of what they do in the run game.

189
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: So I think that this game is going to come

190
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: down down to what they're able to do in the

191
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: run game, and then they're gonna have to earn it.

192
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are in a place right now again where

193
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to earn somebody being like, Okay, we

194
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: can't keep this guy in the box, or like we're

195
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: gonna have to drop someone in the box to help out,

196
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: or whatever the case. Maybe they're gonna have to earn

197
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: teams adjusting to them being able to stop the run

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: and until them, teams are going to commit to it,

199
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: and it's frustrating. It's frustrating on both sides, especially having

200
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: to watch it on the other side of the break.

201
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: We'll give an update on some of the injuries, but

202
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: I do think what's going to help the run defense,

203
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: specifically Michael Parsons, is if they get Anthony barback, and

204
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: he wants to have a bigger game than Anthony barr

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: is returning to Minnesota obviously, but just having him there linebacker,

206
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: I think allows Mica to play a little bit more freely.

207
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: I think he's putting a lot of pressure on himself

208
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: to make a lot of place that maybe others aren't.

209
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: And so, you know, even as I discussed on NFL

210
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Network today, there's only so much that Mica can do.

211
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting here saying he's teacher's pet. You know,

212
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: all these other guys are scrubs. I'm not saying that,

213
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: but to your point, it's sort of a team effort.

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you guys, but in any

215
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: work capacity, if I'm taking on multiple roles from multiple people,

216
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: I can't be great at my job if I'm jack

217
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: of all trades. Back say say that that's the real thing,

218
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: but I don't with with I know what else helps

219
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: will help this defense, this offense not getting off to

220
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: a slow start. Yeah, yeah, because that's that's part of

221
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: it as well, and that the defense also was put

222
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: in not so advantageous situations last game as well. So

223
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: two back to back turnovers, think that wears them out

224
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, yeah, and the slow starts.

225
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they offense didn't really get going into the

226
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: second quarter. Yeah, so by then your defense has been

227
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: on the field a considerable amount of time. It's just

228
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: this complimentary football was not present, not at all. Because

229
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: even on special teams use they would tear you up too.

230
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was just going to add as well.

231
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: I know it's important to talk about the Green Bay

232
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: loss and how the run defense was exposed in that game,

233
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: but I think you also have to put into context

234
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: what that game meant. That game, to me, was way

235
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: bigger than exposing any problems that the Cowboys had. That

236
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: game from the day before they left for the bye

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: week up until Sunday before kickoff was all about Mike

238
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: McCarthy's return, and I think even we did as media members,

239
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: that was our focus for a lot of the time.

240
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: And so I feel like that is playing a factor

241
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: in why we feel that the run defense is bad.

242
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, like they it was bad,

243
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: it was bad, but I think it maybe feels worse

244
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: because it was such an elevated and emotional game, and

245
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I think that's why it's frustrating for Mike. Even today.

246
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: When Mike spoke today, I think you just feel that

247
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more so. I agree with what you're saying,

248
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: and even to your point of being able to contain

249
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and the pass rush being successful again on Sunday,

250
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: I think you kind of have to put that in

251
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: perspective as well. Yeah, and I think with that too,

252
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: it's going back to what I said earlier. You're playing

253
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: emotionally charged, and when you're too emotional as humans, you

254
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: start to see a little bit of cloudiness and it's

255
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: a little blurry and it's not so clear what the

256
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: goal is. But going back to Oysh's point of offense,

257
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: you in the pocket, you in the game. That's for

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. That's for the Cowboys, that's

259
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. Whoever is going to put more pressure

260
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: on the quarterback this week and who can do that,

261
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be huge. Not allowing a run to

262
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: even be established for the Vikings, that's huge. And again

263
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: it's going back to not having a slow start of

264
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: course for offense, but defense. Get a three and out

265
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: the first drive, first Vikings drive, get three and out.

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Set your tone early. We are not going to allow

267
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: this to happen again. Because this is a game that

268
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: I believe can really be the determining factor for the

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense to set the tone for the rest of

270
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: the season. Well, I think to answer your question, Haley,

271
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think there was the emotional

272
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: element of this game. But I think for me at least,

273
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: what made this game so rough for the Cowboys was

274
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: you were up by fourteen points. Yeah, not only were

275
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: you up by fourteen points. You would think when the

276
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: opposing team is up by two scores you start passing it.

277
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: They said, now we don't respect your run. We're going

278
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: to continue to run the ball. And then when you

279
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: look at the last couple of games, let's see two

280
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: o six to start this four game slide two and

281
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: forty after that one seventeen, one thirty six, it's like

282
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: I said, it's going to be an area they haven't

283
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: even seen some of the league's best runners. And so

284
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: that is why I think there is cause for alarm here,

285
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: because if you're going to go deep in the playoffs.

286
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: We had talked about this week. One of the discussions

287
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: I had one of my Cowboys teams sources was, you know,

288
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: we had talked so much about the gaudy stats from

289
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, which is why that wide receiver market

290
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: was so wild this offseason. Teams are running the ball again. Yeah,

291
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: it's so funny how offenses sort of change year to year.

292
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: They're running the ball again, and as they face more

293
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: teams that run the ball, and then you've got an

294
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: offense which we'll get into in a little bit, that's

295
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: not doing you any favors. You are gassing at your

296
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: d I mean, even the pass rush for the Cowboys

297
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: looked a little shaky. Yeah, so I'm gonna go ahead

298
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: and set that up with a little bit of teas

299
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: because Dak is not absolved from this, and neither are

300
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: his wide receivers. What was happening on some of those

301
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: routes that led to those two turnovers that led to

302
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: a gas stout defense. We'll have that more on the

303
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: other side of Girls Talk, Boys Talk, brought to you

304
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: by Jigsaw Dating, the official dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys.

305
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: At Jigsaw Dating, we obviously want the Cowboys to bring

306
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: that sixth ring home, but to be honest, we're more

307
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: focused on finding the person whole put a ring on

346
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: a Cowboys jersey, don't lie. I did it. I had

347

Speaker 1: I'm always looking for shield gear because because I cover

352
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I can't wear any of the swag, even

353
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: though I grew up here to shield gears to it's

354
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: very very tough out. We love the fir moment, so

355
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: we love we love all the dogs. I mean your dogs.

356
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: What's the shield? The shield? What NFL the logo they

357
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: call it the shield? Get away from me? Yeah, there

358
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: you go. I why didn't I know that? Oh God,

359
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: your don't. Speaking of dogs, Jane, you had mentioned that

360
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense needs a dog. They do know. We've

361
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: got some inch three updates might have one of those

362
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: dogs where we're going there. I just it popped in

363
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: my head. I was like, I have to do this,

364
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: all right, all you dog lovers out there, here's what

365
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: we got. The biggest that We'll start with Anthony Barr

366
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: look trending towards returning. Mike McCarthy told us today he's

367
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: in pretty good shape. He'll practice today and that walkthrough,

368
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: so that's really positive. Anthony Brown is also doing well.

369
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: He's still in concussion protocol, but we'll also participate today.

370
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. I asked about Michael Gallup and what an

371
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: interesting response on that one. Like, it wasn't exactly what

372
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: I was expecting either. It was so like to the

373
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: point that I was like, Okay, that's what it doesn't

374
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't a gotcha question. I just think I think

375
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: he's drained from Yeah. Yeah, so Mike, Michael's feeling good,

376
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: no issues, he'll be practicing. And Zeke as an interesting one.

377
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I know we talked a lot about Zeke last week

378
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: the question mark proud of us for being able to

379
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: say what needed to be said, that Zeke might not

380
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: play and he didn't play. Kind of the same vibe today.

381
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: Mike said, if he's ready to play, we'll play him.

382
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: So I'll be interested to hear from him or tomorrow

383
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: just to see how he's feeling just here from his perspective,

384
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: but right now, if he's ready to play, we'll play him.

385
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: And it's always such a weak locker room when they

386
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: do these, you know, Mike is very particular about his

387
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: schedule when they take these road trips, and it's kind

388
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: of been a long weekend, and you know, now they've

389
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: got a trouble at the Minnesota So today was supposed

390
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: to be a practice, they turned it into a walkthrough.

391
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: He wants them at full speed tomorrow, which is not

392
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: dissimilar from what we've seen coach in the past when

393
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: they play that Thanksgiving game and whatnot. So yeah, we'll

394
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: see what they do with Ezekiel Elliott. Because we talked

395
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: about this last week. The run defense of the Packers

396
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: was not necessarily a threat, which is why you said, Okay,

397
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: let's see what Malik Davis and Tony poll are having

398
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: this one. The Vikings run dy's pretty good. It's top

399
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: ten bad. So we'll see where they're at with Ezekiel

400
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: all because we keep talking about the issue. Here is

401
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: long game for him. But I want to talk about

402
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the receivers real quick. Their rushing defense

403
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: is sixteen, Cowboys is twenty nine, so their total defense

404
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: is twenty nine. Though the Vikings Cowboys total defense is twelve,

405
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: so they have something no there they're susceptive to take.

406
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: They have guys that are similar to the Cowboys the

407
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: line where Zadarius Smith and daniela Hunter who liked to

408
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: get after the passer. Well maybe, aren't you know amazing

409
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: as Elin Edgy either he pass defense twenty nine. They

410
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: give up two hundred and sixty two point nine yards

411
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: per game passing, so this could be a week for

412
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb to bring right defense. All right, So we

413
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: loved that. We saw what started out as a MISQ

414
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: was Ceedee Lamb. He crossfaced in front of the safety.

415
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: According to Dak Prescott, do you want to explain what

416
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: that means to some of our our viewers, what it's

417
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: like to cross the crossface? I mean, he just has

418
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: to go past that. He has to go in front

419
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: of that safety. He cannot go behind that safety. When

420
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: safety as middlefield, he has to go across that safety

421
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: to at least draw him out of the play. And

422
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: that's not what happened there. See, come here and learn stuff, ladies.

423
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: And I'm talking to guys too. There are some guys

424
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: you'd be shocked. They don't know some of the stuff either.

425
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: So we try to educate you on this and it's okay,

426
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: not today, And that's why we're here, That's why we're here.

427
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: But when we're talking about these things, I want to

428
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: make sure that listeners understand because when I started out,

429
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: I didn't come from a family that went through X

430
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: as a OS and it's been acquired over the year,

431
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: so hope you learned something there. So it was a

432
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: bit of a miscue. They talked about, they communicated on

433
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and then he went off. He had his

434
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: first one hundred yard game this year, one hundred fifty yards,

435
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. We love to see that, guys. I am

436
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: curious your thoughts on this, and we'll get in a

437
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz in in a minute. You know how I

438
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: feel about this, so on ceedee land. I feel for

439
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: him because he is one of the most likable guys

440
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: in that locker room. He truly is and what I

441
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: love about him, and even Mike McCarthy said it today,

442
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: he wants to be great and I feel that. I

443
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: think it was hard when you consider that Dak did

444
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: not play in the preseason at all, so he didn't

445
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of work with the receivers, and then

446
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: of course he was injured. Do you guys think that

447
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, Mike McCarthy talked about this was route adjustment

448
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: and timing. Do you think that that stuff is playing

449
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: into these guys not running the right routes or why

450
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: was it working with Cooper Rush? Well, first of all,

451
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: the ball wasn't getting passed around like that one number two,

452
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, they were forced to rely on the run

453
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: game at the point. What that play in particular is

454
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: what what happened. I think there was a miscommunication on

455
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: what coverage was being played. I think that Dak saw

456
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: a cover to situation and they dropped into this cover

457
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: three situation, or it might have been another way around

458
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: my bit, But yeah, and I think that it played

459
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: out differently from what CD thought he saw and then

460
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: what Dak saw he saw. And this is I'm not

461
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: going to say that it's an inexcuse. It's not a

462
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: mistake that is excusable, because you need to know that,

463
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: but that coverage is something that's just starting to happen,

464
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: like people disguising it in that way. Now, I will

465
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: say somebody in the press, did this, did happen that

466
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: ceedee Lambs happened before, it happened against the Bearers, happened before,

467
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: And that's why it's one of those things that's where

468
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: you get frustrated exactly. But I think Michael Gelkin mentioned

469
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: in the press conference, he said, like this is, you know,

470
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys with nineteenth game, but this is Dak's fifth game,

471
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: like it's just his fifth game. And so I think

472
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: that's why you're right, Jane. I agree with you that

473
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: maybe that's why you do see some of the miscommunication

474
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you do see also on the flip side,

475
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: you see Michael Gallup starting to come along with Dak

476
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: as well. So I don't know it's I think it's

477
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: there they are both trying to get in a rhythm

478
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: with each other, Ceedee Lamb and Dak right now. Yeah,

479
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: I think both of them even talked about that. I

480
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: know Dak talked about just still trying to get into

481
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: a rhythm with CD. And you really don't recognize how

482
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: much of an impact it is missing as much of

483
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: the season as Dak did until you actually see it unfold.

484
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're seeing right now. And

485
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes it so challenging, is you

486
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: know what Dak is capable of, you know what this

487
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: offense is capable of. Perfect example of it against the Bears, right,

488
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: but you also have to factor in that misstime and

489
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: that they were clicking really well. To be honest, the

490
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: Bears I don't think were as much of a threat

491
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: as the Packers given the history and all of the

492
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: hurah going into that game, So there was a little

493
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: bit more at stake on Sunday. Yeah. I can't think

494
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: of a different word, but I just it's hard. So

495
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: you have to get da fit at the doubt And

496
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: you touched on this a little bit. My issue with

497
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: CD is that it always feels like he has to

498
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: play with some sort of chip on his shoulder times

499
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: too in order to feel great. It's almost like, and

500
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so high on getting an Odell or

501
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: somebody else in here, because I think CD's a guy

502
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: that likes to be challenged. I think he likes proving

503
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: to everybody that he's that guy and not to be

504
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: disrespectful to the rest of the wide receiver room. But

505
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: right now, I really feel like he doesn't feel like

506
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: he has that guy who's gonna put him to make

507
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the big catches, to have those big games on Sunday,

508
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: you know, getting mixed up in those interceptions and you know,

509
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: not being on the same page as your quarterback, taking

510
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: some of that responsibility. I think that fueled him into

511
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: having a career game and on a consistent basis for him,

512
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: I think it's challenging when you don't have that push,

513
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: when you don't have that guy at practice and you're like,

514
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: let's go one on one, like I'm going to do

515
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: this better than you. And so I don't want to

516
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: get back into the Odell conversation, but I just think

517
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: having a guy like that in there would really push him.

518
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: But that's why he brings up a Mari Cooper so much. Yeah,

519
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: when you how many times do you guys in your

520
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: conversations with CD? Does he bring up Amari Cooper? And

521
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: particularly he's got enough even with ob J. I think

522
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: some of that is when you're getting some attention off

523
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: of CD, he's allowed he's allowing himself to make some

524
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: of those plays he struggles in the double and triple coverage,

525
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: and so I think he does need a guy like

526
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, a Mari was a bit of Amar prided

527
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: himself on it. He was a bit of he was

528
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: he has his route running guru page, you know, like

529
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: he's a bit of a savant in that way, and

530
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: I think he coached those guys up. And I do

531
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: think that they're missing a guy like Adam Henry, who

532
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: was the wide receivers coach. I don't think we talk

533
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: enough about that. Look at what he did for OBJ

534
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: and for Jarvis Lantry when he was at LSU, and

535
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: then what he did here having three one thousand yard receivers,

536
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: and so I think all of that factors. And I

537
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: think that's why even Jerry is being so boolish about OBJ,

538
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: why that locker room was being so foolish about it,

539
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: is because I think they see having a veteran like

540
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: him in there is good for everyone, even if it

541
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: is a year or two, because what you're doing is

542
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: you're helping them invest in the guys. They spend a

543
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of money and might have to start paying money

544
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: for Ceedee Lamb when his contract comes up here and

545
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: what the next year or two and you have if

546
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: you have the option of OBJ. I said it over

547
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: and over again, it's an additive. Jerry even echoed that

548
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: when he talked on the fan this week. He said, Mom,

549
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: it would be an additive to what we already have.

550
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: But going back to talking about because listening to the

551
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: other side and what the Vikings were saying, they want

552
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: to expose CD. I mean completely that is that is

553
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: what I got. They want to expose him, and they're

554
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: really going to pay attention to him in the slot.

555
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised if you do see a

556
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: little bit more of Noah Brown, a little bit more

557
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: of Michael Gallop this week, because they're going in there

558
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: with a plan to not only attack CD in that slot,

559
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: but they're trying to put pressure on Dak early. Straight

560
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: what they said, we want to put pressure on DAK

561
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: and specifically the pocket. They don't necessarily want to get

562
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: to Dak. They want to collapse the pocket. They want

563
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: Dak to fill that pressure, so he's forced to get

564
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: that ball out early. Of course, we know the domino

565
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: effect that comes with that, the miscommunications or the interceptions,

566
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: and so they're going in there to expose DAK and CD,

567
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: specifically those two and that duo. So it's going to

568
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. You know, maybe CD doesn't have

569
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: a fantastic one hundred yard game like he did against

570
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay, but it does leave room for Michael gall

571
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: it leaves room for Noah Brown, Jalen Tolbert, maybe Kavante Turpin.

572
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: Maybe It's going to be very interesting to see how

573
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense is going to respond with their other

574
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the room. Just real quick, we got

575
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: the official practice report from Cowboys PR. So all the

576
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: guys we talked about, Anthony bar limited, Anthony Brown was limited,

577
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Zeke limited, Michael Gallup was full, DeMarcus Lawrence is on

578
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: this list. He did not is not practicing today with

579
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: a foot injury, and Tyler Smith had a knee injury

580
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: last week. He's full go. As for the Vikings, it's

581
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: so interesting seeing how short this one is in comparison

582
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: to the Packers last week. Christiendar saw you talked about earlier.

583
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: He did not practice with a concussion, a Caleb Evans concussion.

584
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was limited today with a toe injury, Zadarius

585
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Smith limited with a knee injury, and Dalvin Toominson did

586
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: not practice with a calf injury. On the Green Bay

587
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: folks before I came in, it looks like they're not

588
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: really worried about Zadarius like that. But the Evans gentleman

589
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: is playing a corner might be the well he's the

590
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: backup corner if I'm not mistaken, So if he can't go,

591
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: then maybe you're on a third string corner out there.

592
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: So there may be other receiving opportunities here, Doc Cowboys,

593
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: I was going to bring up you were talking about

594
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: the interceptions for Dak. I think that's what's a little alarming.

595
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: And you can't put all of them on Dak. Like

596
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: I said Dalton Schultz and CD, there was definitely some

597
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: miscuse there. But I mean we're talking four games, four picks,

598
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: chewing the Packers game that turned into points. Do you

599
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: think that this gets in his head at all? No?

600
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because he's he's seeing, he trusts

601
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: what he's seeing and he try. I mean you can

602
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: tell he trust what he's seeing. And people have complained

603
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: years about Dak not throwing with you know, urgency, with

604
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: him not throw not throwing guys open, whatever, And he's

605
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: thrown with anticipation the gener like the player just has

606
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be there, so it's or

607
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: needs to be there. So I feel like, no, the

608
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: aggressiveness in which he's playing is kind of it's okay

609
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: to me. I do think that the passing forty forty

610
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: six times that I was just being ready. It is

611
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: very likely that you are going to see more picks

612
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be, because it's it's almost

613
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: a given with how much you're throwing the ball. So

614
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: I think that also plays into the number of picks

615
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: that he threw this game specifically. I think it just

616
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: goes back to what we talked about at the top

617
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: of the show, just having accountability and doing your job.

618
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: I know we talked about that being the thing for

619
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: defense to key on this week, but that obviously translates

620
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: over to offense as well. Dak is never a guy

621
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: who doesn't take accountability for what he's done. He took

622
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: accountability for those two picks. He took accountability for the

623
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: mistakes that he made. Now you have to have Dalton,

624
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: and you have to have CD, and you have to

625
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: have Michael or whoever it is making those mistakes. You

626
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: also have to have a candid conversation and say, look,

627
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: I maybe was too aggressive and throwing into double coverage

628
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: while you were both running that route that I saw

629
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: you both running the route and I did it anyways,

630
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: but I need you guys to get it together too.

631
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: If one of you guys is running, some of that

632
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: pressure and some of that defense is going the opposite way, right,

633
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: So I I like how aggressive Dak is. I would

634
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: rather have a Dak Prescott who's going to take the chances,

635
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: who's going to trust himself to make those decisions, than

636
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: to have, let's say, a Cooper Rush who. Sure he's consistent,

637
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: you know exactly what you're going to get out of

638
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: him every week. But it's a lack of excitement. It's

639
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: a lack of aggressiveness when you're watching him play, and

640
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: you rely more on the run when a Cooper Rush

641
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: is in. Folks who remember what his game looked like

642
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: before Dak came back, I mean he started to get exposed.

643
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: We hadn't seen Cooper Rush. I mean think about before

644
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: he got the starting job while Dak was dealing with

645
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: the injury. We'd only seen him in one career game.

646
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: You know that. This one note and I was gonna say,

647
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: they brought that up on the other side. They said,

648
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: on the other side, they were talking about the last

649
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: time we saw this team, Cooper Rush led to victory.

650
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: This is a revenge game for Dak, and in my mind,

651
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: just I guess being around the building, being around all

652
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: of this, I'm like, Dad doesn't think that way. That

653
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: is not how Dak sees this. It's very interesting to

654
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: see things from the Vikings point of view to even

655
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: assume that that is how Dak is. What they're saying

656
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: this way way way, I'm dead. It took me a

657
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: lot that this is a revenge game for Dak against

658
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush to show look, I can beat the Vikings too,

659
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: which is absolutely just ridiculous to me. But that's what

660
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: was said. But I did write it in my notes

661
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: because I just couldn't believe that that was kind of

662
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: there the point of view over there. But to your point, Haley,

663
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: what or everybody is when you see Dak throwing the

664
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: ball that many times, that tells me one thing. The

665
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: run game was not established. And when you lean on

666
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: the run, obviously you haven't had a healthy one two

667
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: punch with Zeke and Tony Pollard Elliott with the injury there,

668
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: but you do have a Malik Davis who has stepped

669
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: up when he needed to. But to me, you can't

670
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: have that one two punch if he's only getting five

671
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: touches on the ball. I mean, that's an issue. So

672
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: you wonder why Dak threw the ball so many times,

673
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: You wonder why he had two interceptions. Well, when you

674
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: have two running backs, one of them is only getting

675
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: five touches in a game, that's a very good indicator

676
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: to why. And that goes back to again and more,

677
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: maybe need to taking more accountability for that play calling

678
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: within that game. I think the reason why they're talking

679
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: about Kirk Cousins it's Dak is because there were so

680
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: many comparisons about Dak Prescott in the same categories as Kirk,

681
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: and then I think it was easy to make those

682
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: comparisons as they both bet on themselves to get their

683
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: big deals. Because Kirk Cousins is just so fascinating. He

684
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: has the best win lost record of his career, but

685
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: he's having his worst season since becoming the full time starter.

686
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: So I think that's into change girls those chains he's

687
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: wearing every week and down. They asked him today during

688
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: the press conference why he doesn't wear the wristband with

689
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: the plays on it anymore, And overall just seems like

690
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: he's more comfortable with the scheme, he's more comfortable with

691
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: the play calling, and it seems like it's just a

692
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: little more simplified for him to not have to memorize

693
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: so much. That would also just throw the ball to

694
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: Justin jeffres Well. And that's what that's what I was

695
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, is like he's He's Kirk has always been

696
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a gambler, but now with these receivers,

697
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: like actually, with like the addition to the of Hakason

698
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: hes guest, it's nine. Let's talk about this. I had

699
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: actually forgot about this, and this was in my notes

700
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring up. I always loved playing this.

701
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: If this had happened, what if? So the Cowboys were

702
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: right there at seventeen. Guess where Justin Jefferson was in

703
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty draft, five five picks after Seedee Lamb

704
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty two overall picks. So the Cowboys pick Ceedee lamp

705
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: Let's talk about their numbers. Since the Cowboys pick Lamb

706
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and six receptions, Jefferson two sixty five receiving yards,

707
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: Jefferson's almost doubled it. Two seven hundred forty three for Lamb,

708
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: four thousand and seventy six for Jefferson receiving touchdowns. Lamb's

709
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: got sixteen Jefferson twenty one. This is where it's really interesting.

710
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: One hundred yard games. Lamb only has six, Jefferson has twenty.

711
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: What's fascinating is I covered Jefferson's Pro Day and I

712
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: remember his wide receivers coach. He's worked with bunch of

713
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: these guys in the off season. He pulled me aside

714
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: and he goes, Justin Jefferson's going to be better than

715
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase in the league. And I was like, huh,

716
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: come on, man, come on. He said, watch, he is

717
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: going to be better than Jamar Chase in the league.

718
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: And he is certainly making a case for that right now.

719
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Most receiving yards and your first three seasons in NFL history,

720
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: you want to guess who he's in the company of

721
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: right now? This will be a fun game ATY. He

722
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: is in the same vein now as Randy Moss who

723
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: had four thousand, one hundred and sixty three and his

724
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: first receivings OB j who had four thousand, one hundred

725
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: and twenty two. You got Justin Jefferson with four thousand

726
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: and seventy six and AJ Green with three thousand, eight

727
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three. Keep in mind, Jefferson has eight

728
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: more games to go the season, so just some fascinating

729
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: numbers about how much of a thirty is now. Keep

730
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: in mind, the last time the Cowboys played him, they

731
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: did have a plan. He only had two catches for

732
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: twenty one yards. Chick. I don't know if that's going

733
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: to be the case this time, but we'll see. It's uh,

734
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: he's a virgin like ninety five yards a game right now,

735
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of like his numbers being insane like

736
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: that or necessity, and it's difficult to him. It's very

737
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: difficult to compare a lot of these receivers just given

738
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: their situations, like I mean, but he in particular, he's given.

739
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: He's getting so many opportunities and he just takes advantage

740
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: of them. And he's one of those guys like you

741
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: gotta go get a play. He's gonna go and make

742
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: the play. That matchup between him and Treyvon is gonna

743
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: be because I think they both have gotten better. They

744
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: you're right here, you are right, like you brought up Treyvons,

745
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: like check why we hold that conversation for the other

746
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: side of the break, because that let's just talk about

747
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: matchups we're looking forward to and then, of course we're

748
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna dig into this a little bit more tomorrow. One

749
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: of my favorites, Tatum Everett, is the team reporter for Minnesota.

750
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: She's going to join us and give us a little

751
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: bit more insight, specifically t J. Hawkinson, who learned the

752
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: playbook in like four days when he was there. But

753
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: let's talk about digs for this is Jefferson and why

754
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: that one's going to be one to watch. On the

794
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: we talked about the matchup. We're looking forward to watching

795
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: because Justin Jefferson is just he is Michael Irvinson and

796
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: I want to fight through the fan Today he was asked,

797
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: was that the best catch you've seen in the league. Yes,

798
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: And what he did against the Bills last week, a

799
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: comeback when on the road, was just absolutely nasty. It

800
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: was like a fourth and nineteen, fourth and eighteen. It's crazy.

801
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: The entire game, it was the last half of it

802
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: was playing right here, and I told Hayley, like, look

803
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: at that, look at it again, and it dude, absolutely captivating.

804
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're I mean, we're talking like highlight reels

805
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: for the ages that football at its best. Watching that

806
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: game so, but we talked about this the last time

807
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 1: the Cowboys played him, which again is so funny because

808
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: we were talking about this earlier Cooper Rush versus Dak

809
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: how well the defense seemingly plays when Cooper Rush is

810
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback. And maybe we'll deep dive into that a

811
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: little bit more tomorrow because we don't have time. We

812
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: will because I think it is an interesting conversation. But

813
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: when they played him last year, he only had two

814
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: catches for twenty one yards. They didn't target Diggs against

815
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: the Packers last week, and then when you look back

816
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: to the game last year, he was never targeted when

817
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: he was in primary coverage. Is Kirk darn to go

818
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: after Diggs this week or now? I want him to? Yeah,

819
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I hope so. I sure hope so. Because the thing

820
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: about Justin Jefferson is he makes plays when the ball

821
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: is in the air. That to me is just the

822
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: perfect time for Treyvon to come back up and say,

823
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: you want to talk about my defense, You want to

824
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: say that we are overexposed and we're not capable of

825
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: making plays happen. This is the opponent to do it with.

826
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is absolutely the statement player that Treyvon Diggs

827
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: needs to get that ball from and I expect him

828
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: to fully be the ball hawk that we know he

829
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: can be against a lot of respect there because even

830
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, I mean Aaron Rodgers not going at you,

831
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: it says something about you, like it really does, because

832
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: he's one of the guys probably some of the best

833
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: best ball placement in the game. And if he's like,

834
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I shouldn't go over there. I

835
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: could definitely see Kirk being like M. But with the

836
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: emergence of Justin Jefferson and how involved he is in

837
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: his offense, they move him around also, so the other

838
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: corners are going to have to be prepared for having

839
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: to cover him. So it's not I'll be curious to

840
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: see if dan Quinn makes goes out on a limb

841
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: and says like, hey, no, you shadow him or you

842
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: follow him. But that's not typically his M. But maybe

843
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: this game, if you take him out of this game,

844
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: that it changes how they play offense. Maybe maybe that

845
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: is a matchup we should be looking at too, you know,

846
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: neutralize things. I think with Treyvon as well, you have

847
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: to respect his growth. I know you touched on that

848
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: a little bit. And it's obvious when you think of

849
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: Treyvon Digs, you think of interceptions, and that's a proper

850
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: thing to think about. But Trayvon has really elevated his

851
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: game this season. According to the Cowboys PR staff, through

852
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: nine games, Diggs only has two missed tackles and six

853
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: point three percent missed tackle rate is ninth among quarterback

854
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: corner backs. And I just think when you talk about

855
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: Treyvon Digs, you have to start talking about him in

856
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: a different light. I think he's really elevated who he

857
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: is as a player. The interceptions are cool, and I

858
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: love that he gets those. I love that we have

859
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: that option of someone who's going to go up and

860
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: get the ball to your point, Jess. But what I'm

861
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: really interested in is what else he can do because

862
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: we expect him to get the interceptions, But I don't

863
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: think people really expected him to be the tackler that

864
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: he is, and I think he showed that really early

865
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: in that Bengals game. It stands out to me in

866
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: the Giants game, I think he had back to back

867
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: games where he made the game saving tackles, and so

868
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm just really interested to see not necessarily the aerial

869
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: battle between him and Juster Jefferson. But what Treyvon can

870
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: limit if Jefferson is able to get catches and keeping

871
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: him down, do you guys think at all the respect

872
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: level there is Because keep in mind, Stefan Diggs was

873
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: obviously in Minnesota. They knew what little Bro was capable of.

874
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: When he was in Alabama. I mean he was a

875
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver that switched to cornerback. So in other words,

876
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was around the facility. Those two are

877
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: so close they know his game. Because they know his game,

878
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: do you think it extends more than just what he's

879
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish in the NFL. It's sort of

880
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: having that back history of we knew what we were

881
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: getting from Stefan Diggs, we saw what he was doing

882
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: in college. This is a guy we just we don't

883
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: want to smoke from. Yeah. I mean, they're brothers and

884
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: they're very open about how much they compete against each

885
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: other and have competed against each other. So and Stefan

886
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: speaks very highly of his brother, but he's if he

887
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: don't look good, he'll say it too. So yeah, and

888
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: obviously Stefan is now with the Bills. But my point

889
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: in saying, is like a lot of these there's not

890
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: a ton of turnover from when he was playing and

891
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: then came here, and so I just wonder if some

892
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: of that goes to we sort of know what we're

893
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: getting with Trayvon based on what we knew what we

894
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: had with Stefan well, and I'd love to RJO Choas

895
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: to RJ. He did an interview with Treyvon earlier this

896
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: week on Blogging the Boys, and he asked, you know,

897
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: how are you more quiet compared to your brother and

898
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: just the contrast there of Trayvon said, I don't. I

899
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: don't like to be mouthy. I just I do my thing.

900
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: I do my job, and I let them talk to

901
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: me and I just show them what's up. I mean.

902
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: It was a very good interview, and it was it

903
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: was really cool to hear him talk about that contrast,

904
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: because I just never thought of it that way of

905
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: how really different they are being so close and I

906
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: guess me and my brother, I mean, we're really the

907
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 1: same way, we're complete opposites. But then you you see

908
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: just how different Sevon and Trayvon are, and it is

909
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: it is insane. Didn't think about until I saw the

910
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: interview George Edwards, right, former and Vikings. Yep, maybe he

911
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: has some insight on how he clearly did last year. Yes,

912
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys played the run last year against

913
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook extremely well to use Ham the fullback a lot,

914
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: and that he can get downhill on you. So I

915
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: just wanted to like familiarity. I think Georgia, who's being

916
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: in that room's gonna help too. Well, let's touch on

917
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: that a little bit more tomorrow. We'll put that in

918
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: our notes. And I do, like I said, want to

919
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: get into how this defense plays without Cooper Rush because

920
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: respected John Mashouda for even asking the questions. CBS Sports

921
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: actually put out the tweet with some interesting numbers that

922
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought about. Mike wasn't necessarily taking the bait,

923
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: but why we think Cooper Rush was able to make

924
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: this defense look a little bit more efficient. We'll get

925
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: into that tomorrow before we wrap up. Got a past

926
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: interference for us? I do, and I'm so glad you

927
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: ended on that note, because let's talk about the last

928
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: time the Cowboys and the Vikings played. Eight is time

929
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: for your past interference? They played in twenty twenty one.

930
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: They obviously won the Cowboys one twenty two sixteen. Now,

931
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: going back through the history of the Cowboys and the Vikings,

932
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: they've played a total of twenty six times within the

933
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: span of the NFL fourteen, of which the Cowboys have won.

934
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: Within that time, the Cowboys have scored a total of

935
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: seventy three touchdowns and on average score about two point

936
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns a game. So the Marino and to this day,

937
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: the rivalry from the Vikings fans still exists because it's

938
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: all hell. Dallas conjoyned their Super Bowls. It's always fun

939
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: if you've not been to Minnesota before. One of my

940
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: favorite stadiums, an incredible atmosphere. I unfortunately am not making

941
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: the trip this weekend because we have a reporter in

942
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: that region, so I'm sort of bummed out about it.

943
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk a little bit more about this

944
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: matchup tomorrow. Like I said, we love getting opposing team reporters,

945
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: and here Tatum Everett is one of the best, and

946
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: then we'll deep dive into some of those topics that

947
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: we decide to earmark for tomorrow for all of us

948
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. Thanks for tuning in and

949
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: we will see you next time this has been a

950
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys

951
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: Football Club.
